Can Chhaava's Collection Be Topped? With Sitaare Zameen Par, Housefull 5 And Maa, Bollywood Hopes For Big Return At Box Office In June

June 2025 is gearing up to be one of the most anticipated months for Bollywood fans. Big releases from the Hindi film industry are lined up to hit the theatres. The month will commence with Housefull 5 on June 6, followed by the release of Sitaare Zameen Par on June 20 and Kajol headlined Maa on June 27. With the interesting lineup of big releases, trade analysts predict a healthy outcome at the box office. Till now, 2025 has been mediocre for Bollywood with Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava being the only blockbuster and Raid 2, Kesari 2 and Sky Force being average hits. With the big releases, the industry hopes for a comeback.

June is also a significant month with respect to holidays and an appetite for recreation. With most schools and educational organisations shut, families tend to go out more. Some reports also suggest that following he summer harvest, there is an overall greater availability of disposable income. In such a case, a trip to the cinema seems the easiest way to leisurely spend time with friends and family.
